1. Implementing a Pre-Feasibility Study

Eduventures Development experts Jennifer Zaslow and Alicia Reed discuss how Eduventures Consulting Services can conduct a pre-feasibility study to assist your fundraising efforts

Whether in preparation for a campaign or as part of a strategic communications assessment, colleges and universities are always seeking ways to engage high-level prospects and donors in a dialogue about the institution. Using Eduventures' pre-feasibility study, institutions can gather information from high-level prospects and donors about their interests, attitudes, and preferences – specifically gauging their current relationship with the institution and the potential for future individualized engagement. Additionally, the pre-feasibility study is designed to provide gift officers with essential information to guide in-person conversations with this set of essential constituents.

2. Improving Career Services

Eduventures Chief Research Officer Peter Stokes and career services expert Sheila Curran discuss how Eduventures Consulting Services can help schools looking to increase the impact and efficiency of their Career Services operations.

Eduventures has partnered with Sheila Curran, the former executive director of the Duke University Career Center and founder of Curran Career Consulting, to assist schools looking to improve the effectiveness of their Career Services operations.
